The annual matchup between the border rivals from the University of Florida and the University of Georgia is played at the neutral site of Jacksonville, Florida.  However, the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars have plans to rebuild the franchise’s EverBank Stadium, leaving the Gators-Bulldogs grudge match without a home.

According to Brett McMurphy of the Action Network, the host stadiums for the game for the next two seasons has been decided, with Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium to handle the 2026 game, while Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium will host the 2027 edition of the “World’s Largest Cocktail Party”. 

According to additional reporting from McMurphy, Orlando and Miami had been considered for the 2027 game.  

The game is expected to return to Jacksonville in time for 2028.
